Racy pics of an underage girl would whip Det. Elliot Stabler into a rage on "Law & Order: SVU."
Chris Meloni in real life, not so much.

Despite getting blasted by the Mouse for "deliberately manipulating a 15-year-old," Annie Leibovitz is standing by her bareback shot of Miley Cyrus.
VF pooh-bah Graydon Carter can't be too torn up about it either -- he let her right into his celebriteria, The Waverly Inn, last night in NYC.

Miley Cyrus' topless Vanity Fair pics have meant bad press for Disney -- and it looks like they're keeping quiet in hopes it'll all blow over soon.
TMZ tried getting something out of Clark Spencer, the producer of Miley's next movie "Bolt," but the questions had him wishing he could do just that.

Disney has confirmed that Miley Cyrus has been pulled from her first scheduled public appearance since the whole Vanity Fair fiasco.
Miley was set to walk the red carpet for the "Disney Channel Games" this coming Friday, but instead she'll be sitting in a castle tower, brushing her hair and complaining to her mirror about what a horrible step-mom Disney is.

It's official -- Destiny Hope Cyrus is now a Disney baby.
A judge just approved Miley's parents' petition (she's a minor) for her name change to Miley Ray Cyrus. Only a lawyer was present -- and when he was asked for a reason for the change, he said, "Destiny Hope Cyrus has been commonly known as Miley Ray Cyrus since she was a young child. The change of name is requested to make her commonly used name the same as her legal name."

Disney and the Cyrus family have been tearing Annie Leibovitz a new one since her bareback Miley pic came out in Vanity Fair -- but if the photog is pissed at 'em, she ain't gonna talk about it.

Yes, this studded, nose-pierced rocker is actually the half-brother of fresh-faced, barebacked Miley Cyrus -- but he definitely doesn't act like it.
While the rest of his family has put Vanity Fair on blast for manipulating poor little Miley, TMZ got Trace Cyrus in DC -- and he couldn't care less.
BTW -- Trace is a guitarist and vocalist in the band Metro Station. Who knew?

Ever since Mileygate broke yesterday, Disney's been pissing on Annie Leibovitz and her shoot with Miley for Vanity Fair -- at the same time that Annie's been on the Mouse payroll for a couple years now doing their fancy "Dream Portrait" series.
Leibovitz has enlisted everyone from a (very young) Abigail Breslin to Julie Andrews, David Beckham and Beyonce to pose for her in the big-budget shots, designed after Disney stories. But when it came to their biggest and most bankable star, MiCy, all of a sudden they got collective corporate amnesia?
Disney said Annie "manipulated" the situation with Miley.

Miley Cyrus might be boo-hooing about this Vanity Fair shoot, but we're told that her parents were with her "the entire time" and that they knew everything that was going on. So any suggestion that Annie Leibovitz tricked Miley into taking racy shots are absurd: "There was no subterfuge," we're told.
Well-placed sources at Vanity Fair say that the mag is "happy for all the press -- we're selling magazines, after all," and when it comes to Miley's suggestion that the legendary Leibovitz got her to take a topless shot, "Are you going to believe Annie Leibovitz or Miley Cyrus?"
For her part, Leibovitz said in a statement, "I'm sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted."

Holy Hannah's Montanas! Pics of the scruffy-voiced, fast-talking FIFTEEN-YEAR OLD flashing her bit parts and making her best jail-bait sexy face have popped up on the Internet ... again.
While she's not shaving her head -- yet -- Miley Cyrus might want to slow her tractor-trailer roll on the road to Spearsville.
This isn't the first time naughty photos of the underage, Jesus-loving, Disney star have ended up online. Shots of Miley in her undies made the rounds this past January.
Someone's getting grounded -- we're just sayin'.
A call to Miley's rep was not immediately returned.

Minnesota is proposing a "Hannah Montana" bill that would block scalpers from buying hordes of tickets online and then reselling them later at prices a tween girl and her weekly allowance could never afford. 
The inspiration for the bill came after Miley Cyrus played a concert in the cold-weather state last year and scalpers left young fans empty-handed, crying into their Jonas Brothers pillows. Boo hoo.

Melissa Burech, the lady who gets celebs' autographs tattooed on her body, saw two stars yesterday -- Miley Cyrus and Jane Seymour.
She's thinking about washing one off. Guess who?

From the start, something seemed waaaay too fishy about Miley Cyrus' whole "lost dog" routine. The unnecessarily extravagant signage, the complete lack of real concern, the ridiculous funeral defense? Seem like a shameless attempt at publicity to you?!
Sorry, Miley. Not buyin' it. If you've got a lost dog on your hands, you get your a$$ out there and you find that damn thing! You don't doctor up a bunch of decorative art student projects and hope it finds its way back. You said it yourself, the dog has one-inch legs, how far could it have gone?
But the kicker? Who jettisons a dog you just found in the street to go to the Ivy? Really?

Miley Cyrus' life is like a perfectly planned sitcom ... and it's borderline sickening.
In the latest episode, Cyrus lost her aunt's dog and searched all over the neighborhood for it. The only thing missing -- Miley singing, "Where, oh where has my little dog gone, where, oh where can she be?"

With Britney back under control, Miley Cyrus is the new pap target -- one who loves hearts, peace signs and crosses. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
The Jesus-lovin' daughter of Billy Ray went to the Coffee Bean with her momma yesterday, where the Disney-fied princess even hugged a pap after he gave her a gift. She's just perfect -- for now!
